I have an AP that I purchased and used back in October and November 2013. Just booked a quick anniversary trip for my hubby and I in early October. I tried to add my AP to the ressie but it's telling me it's an invalid card. Tried to just go in and set it up to get a magic band and it's still telling me it's invalid?? What am I supposed to be doing in this situation?
1- Do I get one band for my hotel ressie and dining/FP ressies and then wear a separate one for my AP??
2- Do I have to change my AP into a magic band?
1- Nope.
2- Nope.

Just to keep things as clear as possible-
There is no reservation info, or ticket info, or credit card info,
or FP+ info "put onto" a MagicBand.
The MagicBands just contain a unique serial number that is used
to access the information that is stored in your MyDisneyExperience computer file.
So, even if you were to lose a MagicBand, the info stays locked in your file.
Disney can just set up a new band (different serial number)
to access the info in your
MDE file.
Disney can also issue ADDITIONAL MB's to a guest and each
additional band can be used for the same purposes as the first band.
So, yes, there can be multiple MB's per person, and each of them can be used by that person.
The MagicBand works like the combination to a locked safe, or a key to a locked door.
Why does this distinction matter?
Because there is so much fear about losing bands and,
in turn, losing all of a guest's information thought to be on the band.
The MB, itself, is not the file of info or the container of the info.
The MB just
unlocks the file of info, allowing it to be accessed from your MDE account when needed.
You really do rock!
